I asked her why she walked off the job, and she acted all innocent asking me the particulars of the job, like she couldnt remember - it was 4 minutes ago! you remember!
I can't fathom why someone would do that!

I also hired someone who harvested about 12 plots, of a large farm with nothing but crops. then he stood there. ten minutes went my, so i hired someone else, who harvested the whole farm, and asked to plow. So I hired the second farmer to plow. The first guy woke up out of his trance, and asked to plow, reminding me that when I was at the MP i had said "harvest and plow". If I could, I would have hired him to plow exactly the plots he harvested - about 12. but I ignored him.

I've hired people to harvest who tell me they don't do trees, because 'it's not worth it". And then they want to plow. my response is that I don't hire people to plow who don't do trees - it's not worth it.

My biggest frustration is farmers who hack away at a few trees and say they're done. 90% of the time i have to go back and harvest a ton of tress that were missed. When I hire someone who actually DOES the trees, I add them to my buddylist to hire again.
To be fair about the man who 'went into a trance' it could have been the result of two things - 1. he could have been called away in the REAL world for a bit, though they usually apologies if that's the case or 2. His computer could have frozen him out and jammed for that space of time until if freed up from whatever it was doing, and let him play again. This does happen and it's very frustrating for the person who was hired as well as from your end.
